Deciphering grapevine trunk early molecular responses to P. minimum and P. chlamydospora in the presence of a commercial biocontrol agent (Trichoderma atroviride, Vintec®)

Abstract

Context and purpose of the study – Esca, one of the main grapevine trunk diseases, is a complex and poorly understood disease. Phaeoacremonium minimum and Phaeomoniella chlamydospora, two of the main pathogens associated to this disease, are thought to be responsible for the first trunk infections. Little is known concerning grapevine trunk defenses during pathogen infection. Therefore, the aim of the study was to characterize the host responses in the grapevine wood to either pathogen alone. In parallel, we also evaluated how these responses were modified by the presence of a commercial biocontrol agent (Trichoderma atroviride, Vintec®).

Material and methods – One year-old canes of Cabernet-Sauvignon clone 15 were divided into two-dormant nodes cuttings, then planted in individual pots and grown in controlled conditions (culture tents, photoperiod 12h/12h, 25°C, 45 % humidity). Cuttings were infected with P. minimum and/or P. chlamydospora, in the absence or presence of Vintec®. Wood samples were collected at 48 hours post infection (hpi) for global transcriptomics analysis (RNA sequencing) and at 3 weeks post infection (wpi) for metabolomics analyses.

Results – Transcriptomic analysis identified specific sets of differentially expressed genes associated with each pathogen. Functional analysis of these genes revealed differences mainly in “Signaling”, “Hormonal signaling” and “Biotic stress response”. In addition, we identified clusters of genes differently regulated in the presence of Vintec® during the infection. Phenylpropanoid metabolism and stilbene biosynthesis-related genes were significantly represented among the genes differently expressed in the presence of Vintec®. Metabolomic analysis highlighted a group of flavonoids and stilbenoids that were overproduced in inoculated plants, compared to non-inoculated plants. Further, metabolomic analysis identified specific metabolites associated with each pathogen. The presence of Vintec® resulted in changes in the production of several metabolites. Five relevant ‘biomarkers’ were chosen for in vitroevaluation of their antifungal activity on P. chlamydospora. The results suggest that these compounds may play a role in limiting the in planta development of the pathogens. Altogether, our results show (i) that the trunk may differently ‘perceive’ and thus respond to P. minimum and P. chlamydospora and (ii) that the Vintec® can modify these responses, in a positive way for the plant.

Climats: a model of terroir-based winegrowing recognized by UNESCO

In Burgundy, a climat has nothing to do with the weather but accurately designates a named vine plot, often centuries-old, which produces a singular wine. This wine is the combination of history, the natural environment (relief, type of soil, exposure to the sun), a grape variety and know-how going back thousands of years. The grapes of each climat are harvested separately and the wine is made from a single grape variety and has a unique name featured on the bottle. Romanée conti, clos de vougeot, montrachet, musigny, corton…

Lean management to improve sustainability in wine sector: an exploratory study in the Prosecco DOC appellation

The contemporary wine sector confronts a formidable array of challenges, including burgeoning production costs and the constricted availability of natural resources. Heightened consumer awareness regarding sustainability issues further compounds these pressures, compelling companies to adopt more judicious resource utilization strategies. In response to these imperatives, there is a growing recognition of the need to overhaul production methodologies within the wine industry with a view to minimizing inputs and eliminating waste.

Emosensory profile and chemical characterization of wine vinegar from the Douro and Rioja demarcated regions

Wine vinegars have a tangy flavor and are versatile in cooking. They’ve been used since the neolithic period and are now used as microbial inhibitors and acidifiers. They’re low in calories, have antioxidants, and have a long shelf life, but quality may decrease after opening. The objective of this study focuses on the physical-chemical, sensory, and emotional characterization of wine vinegar samples from the douro demarcated region and la rioja. In total, 22 samples of wine vinegar were analyzed at the time of opening.

Where the sky is no limit – the transformation of wine marketing through text-to-video generation AI models

The introduction of ai-driven tools in digital content creation represents a significant shift in the landscape of marketing, particularly for industries reliant on rich visual storytelling such as the wine sector. The development of ai models like openai’s sora, runway’s gen-2 or google’s lumiere, which can generate realistic video content from textual descriptions, offers promising new avenues for enhancing brand narrative and consumer engagement. This research explores the potential of text-to-video (t2v) ai models to revolutionize wine marketing by creating dynamic, engaging content that captures the essence of vineyards and their products without the need for traditional video production processes.

A century of evolution of the rules relating to grape varieties  in the regulation of French wine AOCs

To characterize a wine, the most frequently used criteria describe its color, its origin, the grape varieties from which they come, or even for white wines its residual sugar content (dry, semi-dry, sweet). In france, the system of appellations of origin set up in 1919 was initially based solely on the notoriety and origin of the wines. But given the unfavorable consequences that this lack of details generated, the public authorities quickly integrated in 1927 into the “capus” law criteria for access to designations of origin, relating to the specific characteristics of the soils of the vineyards and the grape varieties used, in particular exclusion of interspecific hybrid varieties. In 1935 the creation of the aoc system confirmed the interest in precisely defining all the production conditions that must be implemented to be able to claim the benefit of an aoc, and grape varieties were an essential condition for acquisition.
